Cisco access point

I have a cisco WAPN610 access point. I have my desktop, google tv, xbox360 and my wdhdtvlive hooked up to it via wireless. I can't get my phone to obtain an ip address from this. I can connect to the router that is connected to my access point, but can't figure out why my phone won't connect. Google told me to try and use only B/G networks, but that didn't work.
Anyone have this same issue, or know of something I can try to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Under wireless networks on your phone does it see the access point? Just won't pick up an IP address??
Are you able to connect your phone to any other wireless networks?? Public Wifi at starbucks or McDonalds or something??
Could either be a bad WPA authentication or faulty wireless radio in your phone if other devices work.
Have you tried forgetting the network under wireless and networks then rebooting the phone just to be sure it's gone then re connect?

thanks for replying. I can access wifi at work and I can at my friends house. Whenever there is an open connection, it works like a charm, but for whatever reason, when I try to connect at home, it connects, but won't obtain an IP address. I think I can set it up manually and use a static IP. I was doing some googling at work and found something. Very confusing to say the least.
And yes, I have tried to forget it and all that.
thanks again for trying!

how many dhcp leases do you have setup? Depending on how many devices connect, i typically don't setup anymore than 10, but i would try increasing that. What encryption are you using? wpa2/wpa? Is it broadcasting in n or g or is it setup for mixed.

I'm not sure how many dhcp leases I have set up, but I only have 3 things connecting to the access point. My google TV, Wii, and my desktop. I had it set to broadcast mixed (b,g and N) but changed that to just b/g as another suggested. I am also using wpa2.

Is your wireless secure and are you mac address filtering. The phone also has a mac address you need to add to router if you are. It will show connected but not surf if your mac addy filtering.

thanx for the reply,but i guess my wifi's mac filtering is off,and its WPA2 secured.
if it is as u say then why i can connect through my other android phone without requiring the mac addition to my mac filter :-?

You "guess" it's off??
Either you have it on or off.
Just log onto your router, which for example my Netgear is: 192.168.0.1
Enter your router's username (admin) as standard
Enter your Router's password (which hopefully has been changed from the standard password, which is..."password"
Click 'wireless settings'
There you should see an option to click on "Setup Access list"...click it.
Then you should see "Turn Access Control On" with a box with an option to tick or untick.
If it's ticked, then you need to go to "Add New Station Manually"
You will see "Device Name:" ...so enter your device name.
then you will see "MAC Address:"....enter the MAC Address of your phone which can be found by going into:
Settings/about phone/hardwareinfo
Once you've entered your info in the 'Device Name' and 'Mac Address' fields of your router, click "ADD" then click "Apply"
OR:
Just uncheck "Turn Access Control On" in the router, then enter your WEP or WPA password into your phone to connect.
If that doesn't work, unplug router from mains supply for 10 seconds, plug it back in then try that.
cheers

WiFi Keeps Dropping/Disconnecting Through Second Router

First of all, I have internet from Time Warner Cable and it came with a router/modem all in one. Now that was initially set up and that works 100% perfectly with my SGS2. Since I have a weak WiFi signal upstairs in a couple of rooms, I decided to hook up an extra router that is set up as an access point. The second router is connected via a cat5e lan to lan to my main router (home is wired with cat5e connections).
Now on the second router, I have disabled DHCP since the main router is responsible for that. On the second router, I set up a different SSID first to test it out. All wired and wireless connections worked great through my laptop/Xbox 360, PS3. My SGS2 connected fine as well and worked.
Now the issue is that the SGS2 "drops" the WiFi after some time. Sometimes it happens after 5 minutes, sometimes 30 minutes, etc. Even with the SGS2 right next to the router it happens. Meanwhile, my laptop stays connected the whole time.
I can't seem to figure out what the issue is now. I've reset the second router a couple times and set it up all over fresh but it doesn't fix the problem. Seems to be a problem with my brother's Sensation as well. Is there something with Android and access points or going through a second router that causes issues? Any other settings I'm overlooking? SGS2 connected to the main router stays connected until I turn WiFi off. But to the access point, it drops out after some time.
FYI: Second router (access point) is running DD-WRT firmware.
If you need any other info, just ask. I'll be home from work in a couple hours. I've been messing with this for the last 2 weeks but nothing seems to work. Please help! Thanks.

Hmm thats very odd. Im running a similar setup as you, except my main and 2nd router connect via 5ghtz N.
Have you tried statically your phone with an IP address then modifying your main router (that gives DHCP) to reflect that IP is permanently assigned?
edit: to hard set your phone...settings-->wireless and network-->wifi settings, then menu key and advanced. Just fill in the IP and gateway info, and obviously use something in your DHCP subnet. You'll have to look at your DHCP subnet, but you'll probably use 255.255.255.224 as your mask, and use your gateway (your main router IP) as your DNS.

Try giving your phone a static IP from your main router. Also make sure that you adjust your phones wifi settings under advanced settings so that your phone stays connected to wifi during sleep. Hope that helps.

Well my phone is getting the same IP address each time, whether I connect to the main router's SSID or the second router's SSID. But I will try this static IP. One problem is that I don't know how to find out my DHCP range. There's nothing in the main router's settings about the range. The second router has an option to set the IP address range for DHCP but the main router doesn't. See attached image.
I'll try to set the static IP around what the IP addresses of other devices on the network are since I don't know the exact range. Let me know if I'm doing this wrong. Not sure what you meant by 255.255.255.224 there.

The static IP didn't make a difference. Still keeps disconnecting/dropping after some time. Meanwhile, the connection with the main router stays connected. Don't know what else I can do. Seems that my HP Touchpad running CM9 stays connected to the second router without dropping. Don't know what's different about that from my phone.

Does anybody have some instructions on how to set up the second router as an access point? I'm pretty sure I set it up correctly but apparently there seem to be some issues. People who have a similar setup that can help would be great.
Main router from cable company with built in modem where internet connectivity comes from is downstairs. Connect cat5e from LAN of main router to LAN of second router upstairs. Second router set up as access point for better WiFi coverage upstairs.
2 options for second router: DD-WRT D-Link DIR-615 or D-Link DIR-625.
"Could" buy some other recommended router for this and try that if needed, but would definitely prefer to use what I have and get this to work.

This might be completely off but I had a similar issue with my SII when connecting to 802.1x networks at my University. I downloaded this app called wifi fixer and it resolved the wifi connection drop for about 90% of the time. Give it a shot, it might do wonders for ya.

First you need to find out if your router is supported. According to the DD-WRT database, the 615 is, the 625 is not. But there are several revisions of that router, so you need to find out what revision you have. It should be on your label.
Router database
Then you need to decide whether you want a repeater, an access point, or client bridged. You can read the differences in the DD-WRT wiki found HERE
Then you need to find the best build to flash to your router. I suggest reading the overview of the 615 found HERE. Read the ENTIRE thread. If you flash the wrong version to your router, you WILL brick it.
Then flash the appropriate firmware, set it up, and youre done. Youre going to have to do some reading.
edit: I would also suggest downloading wifi analyzer on your phone and do a site survey of available channels in your house. Most likely you WILL have interference from neighbors. Youre going to want to hard set your channel to the least congested channel, either 1, 6, or 11. Once you get DD-WRT set up on your 615 you can do a site survey within the router as well.

change the channel on your router to 6 not 11 i had that issue with our second router and actually my nook color. Depending on the router it should be under wireless settings.

The only reason to use one over the other is congestion. Thats it. And you want to use 1, 6, or 11 because the DIR615 has N capability, and you need a wifi primary channel to use N. Theres only 3 primary channels...1, 6, and 11.
edit: Heres a technical overview of N: CLICK ME!

I have actually done all that. The DIR-615 is an E1 version and I flashed the correct DD-WRT firmware on it. I followed a tutorial from the DD-WRT website to set it up as an access point as well. My laptop works perfectly with it. Just my phone keeps dropping the connection from it. My main router is on channel 11 and the second router is on channel 6. I also tried channel 1 but it didn't help.
I might just to try set it up as a second router on a different subnet than the first router and see if that helps. Going to try to follow this Youtube video and see how it goes.

Hhmm ok. Well your main router shouldn't have anything to do with it. When it drops does it re-aquire an IP and reconnect? Honestly if a reboot of the router doesn't fix it and your laptop doesn't have the same issue, its pointing to the phone.
Maybe a factory reset?

It reconnects when I unlock the phone. Sometimes I have to reset the Wifi on the phone. Have set the Wifi connection to never sleep. My brother's Sensation was doing this as well. I'll have to test it out on his phone and see. I'll probably reset my phone later today and see if that works.

[Q] Wifi connected but no internet . please help !

My wifi at home worked perfectly fine until about a week or two ago. Since then when I connect to my home wifi it appears to be connected with 5 bar signal but the internet is not working . Sometimes I have internet for few seconds, but than it's gone.
I tried 3 different roms including stock , viperx and cyanogenmod 11 all with the same problem.
What do you suggest me to do ?

are you sure it's not a router issue?

I just tried to use my laptop as a wifi hotspot and it worked so the router seems to be problematic .
But I have 2 laptops connected to the same router and are working fine.
Maybe some bad settings
My router uses Openwrt with most settings default.

check if something like parental control is enabled or if the hox mac number is blacklisted... check also if there are conflicts in dhcp and ip reservation....

I would disable DHCP in your phone and put a static ip.
Hold down on the network name till a windows pops up then go on Modify Network>Show Advanced Options>Ip Settings>Static
IP Address: 192.168.x.128 (The X depends on what range your router is. Just do an ipconfig on your laptop to see, 1 is the most commonly used)
Gateway: 192.168.x.x (That is your router address do ipconfig on your laptop to find the 'Default Gateway'
DNS 1: 192.168.x.x (Same as the router as most routers have their own DNS)
DNS 2: 8.8.8.8 (I normally put google's )

[Q] Verizon Lg G3 Won't connect to wifi no matter what.

So basically I can't connect to wifi and I have tried EVERYTHING from static routes to different networks and routers, different roms, complete factory rom/firmware resets. I just can't connect to wifi, nothing else is wrong, and I think it may have to do with the fact that in my "Advanced WiFi" setting its shows my phone Ip address as unavailable.
Any help, please?!

Is there a way to manually assign a phone Ip address, in the terminal or in some coding somewhere? Because I feel like that's the problem... And no I don't just mean using static connections, that doesnt work

Bumpp

Possible solution.
On your pc go to cmd and go to ipconfig /flush dns. I don't remember precise command but something like this. It'll reset all your addresses assigned to your other devices. On your phone do forget network. Then try to reconnect. Your ip will be assigned automatically.
If it doesn't work check in your router what wireless protocol you have. You know b,c,g,ac,n. Try to set to n only.
Another thing there's possibility your router is set to accept connections only from known devices in which case you'll have to add the phone automatically.

No one has ANY ideas. In this whole forum?

I have an idea...There is an update to Lollipop just released that fixes the wifi problem. At least for Verizon...release last few days.

hmmm, if it's the update that comes from the vzw installer when you plug in the phone, then i already tried and no such luck :/
My phone just needs a damn ip adress!

Could it have to do with certificates?
